What will be interesting will be to see if anyone is noticeably off their game tonight.

Jeez it will be hard to tell. They can't get much worse than they have been playing.

Lots of posts here - might have missed the answers to the questions I'm posing. If so, sorry!
Q1 Who broke the news Heyson or a Jockey?
Q2 If so, why? Motive?

My wife's father was once a senior cop. amongst the things I learned from him was that they only release the things that they want to release. They do know more that we think. Part of their strategy might be to see how certain people react.

A few posters have already hinted at this.
Police have 'strong suspicions' but need a bit more evidence, so they get warrants for phone taps etc then make a strategic announcement designed to catch any offenders dumb enough to jump on the phone to their cohorts and say, 'Oh dear do you think we are busted for xyz, what should we do?'
It has happened before, with success.

Social media isn't naming names. It's the idiots using it.

Mark It doesn't work that way on the punt. A million a year is nothing if you have a habit. Size of income simply mirrors the size of the bet if you have a major problem. An ex player lost 75k on the Tuesday night puppies. You reckon there will be much left of the million.

Match fixing is usually the result of the gambler getting in too deep on the punt and the only way out is to do something illegal to get out of the hole. That"'s how these guys operate. Find a weak character and back him into a corner.As Bob Dylan says its been happening in the gambling game for centuries. Young footballers with plenty who like to put colourful characters on a pedestal are just grist for the mill. Like taking candy from a baby.

You don't hang round with these guys to play scrabble.You hang round because you love the ride.....and it never ends well.

Brilliant (and brave) Post Susan.
Thank you.

We couldn't lose our Premierships like the Storm could we?

That would finish me off completely

If you quote the post, read the post.
In other words I watched every game last year, just like every other year. I felt that often two particular players were not trying very hard at all.
Again, I don't care if it was a dummy spit at the coach or they were on the take. I don't care why. It was not good enough and not deserving of the Manly jumper.

Apologies, it wasn't aimed at you or your post.

The only proof I need is something that shows someone bet 000000's on a manly loss in a game that involved his mates playing like crap -
We all know the 2015 season was rotten .
If there is proof that Sydney house price money was put on a manly loss in more than 1 game by the same bloke then I don't need a court of law to tell me how to think .
Follow the money it's as simple as that

Fair enough, but have you seen that proof yet, the bloke concerned has denied it.

Nah, the allegation is levelled at individuals. The team will survive! The "club" will survive this... but who knows what the future holds...

I don't participate social media other than silvertails and a dive forum because of all the nastyness

.... and I'm old and don't know how it all works

are the players in question members of the "DIVE" forum?

 

[Brookie Brawler]

Imagine the membership numbers if we were winning matches and playing attractive football

... and management hadn't screwed over the likes of Tooves and Matty Ballin while treating members and the footy club like ****.

I can tell you the answer would be at least 13,001 for what it's worth.

I've had the same problem Nightster. And I think I've mislaid the instruction sheet. And it used to come all so naturally
